Initially, World War Z cross-play will be only available on Xbox One and PC. PlayStation 4 players will be thrown into the mix eventually, but there’s no date on that yet.
Unfortunately, World War Z will not support cross-play parties to chat with and invite friends from different platforms. World War Z cross-play has instead been achieved through a unified matchmaking pool that will randomly pair players together.
The March 23rd update will also include a few more bonuses for players. There will be new weapon variants – all free – alongside a bunch of new missions objectives. The update well also introduce since new paid DLC character skins.
